6. Verify System Configuration
While still connected to Envoy-S with Installer Toolkit, check the Envoy Overview screen for the following:
a. Confirm that the expected number of devices are discovered, communicating, and producing power.
b. If your system is in Hawaii or in another region that does not use the Factory-Installed Grid Profile,
tap the Grid Profile row on the Envoy Overview screen to select and apply a grid profile to the
microinverters. On the Envoy Overview screen, check that the new profile is set on all the
microinverters. This may take up to 5 minutes.
c. Set up metering for the Envoy-S Metered (model ENV-S-AM1-120 only):
 Tap the Meters button and check that Production Metering is enabled .
 If you installed consumption metering CTs, tap the > to the right of Consumption Meter.
 If the consumption CTs are on a circuit that solar production flows through, leave the
type set to Net, If not change the type to Total.
 Tap Enable Consumption Meter.
 Return to the Overview screen and verify the meter reading(s).
WARNING! If using consumption metering, be sure to set the meter type correctly. You cannot
change this setting once the meter is enabled.
If you used Installer Toolkit to detect microinverters, the Power Production LED lights solid green when all
expected microinverters are producing power. If you did not use Installer Toolkit, it lights solid green if all
communicating microinverters are producing power. It flashes green when microinverters are upgrading.
Check Installer Toolkit for production status details. If the Power Production LED remains solid amber, see
“Issue: Installer Toolkit Indicates that Scanning is Inhibited” on page 35.
7. Connect to Enlighten
The Envoy-S requires a connection to the Internet for reporting to Enlighten. You can provide this connection
through an existing broadband router, other Wi-Fi access point at the installation site, or by using the
Enphase Mobile Connect cellular modem.
WARNING! Risk of Equipment Damage. Do not remove power from the Envoy-S if the LEDs are
flashing green. This indicates that a software upgrade is in progress.
Connect to a broadband router using one of these methods, described in the following sections:
 Method A: Integrated Wi-Fi
 Method B: Enphase Mobile Connect (order CELLMODEM-01 separately)
 Method C: Ethernet cable (not included, installer must provide). This method requires that you use
the ferrite bead included with the Envoy-S.
 Method D: Power Line Communication Bridges (order EPLC-01 separately). This method requires
that you use the ferrite bead included with the Envoy-S.
Method A: Integrated Wi-Fi
The Envoy-S integrated Wi-Fi supports several wireless security protocols in addition to Wi-Fi WPS. These
include WEP Open System, WEP Shared Key, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-EAP, and WPA2-EAP.
To use the Enphase integrated Wi-Fi, you need a wireless
router.
a. On the Envoy-S, verify that no Ethernet cable is
plugged into the RJ45 port.
